COVID-19: UrbanToronto Updates from the Industry for April 19, 2021 | UrbanToronto
The global COVID-19 pandemic is having far-reaching effects in Toronto, including major impacts on what have been booming real estate and building industries. Many jobs and most events are currently suspended, postponed, or affected in other ways, though UrbanToronto is still operating at full strength with our team working remotely. As a means to keep the public in the loop about the shutdowns, we’ll be sharing information and status updates from around the industry on a regular basis.
In today’s report: Team Toronto has now administered more than 900,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses, Metrolinx ramps up efforts to keep staff and customers safe during third wave, OFL gravely concerned that new COVID-19 restrictions fall short on protections for workers, and more news from the COVID-19 front.
